This book develops a collective version of David Lewis¿s conversational scorekeeping model, and demonstrates how scorekeeping can control the contents of thick ethical concepts. It provides analysis of a widely remarked phenomenon, that people from different cultures apply incongruent thick ethical concepts. The model offers a new stance that relativism of distance dissipates when one masters another culture¿s scoreboard, suggesting that there are at least four maturity levels corresponding to four types of relativistic attitudes: in absolutism, a self-righteous attitude; in vulgar relativism, an ecumenical attitude; in relativism of distance, a disengaged attitude; and in mature assessment, a responsible attitude. The scoreboard theory is then examined in the context of Chinäs one-child policy. Shi suggests that understanding public policy through thick and thin ethical concepts is a new and effective approach to cross-cultural dialogue, and recommends that people learn the scoring histories of different cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783844314007\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAn Investigation of Cross-cultural Moral Disagreement and Relativism\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783844314007","offer_id":39495953743965,"sku":"9783844314007","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/8637725f-0823-4652-85c8-8dac60a08260.jpg?v=1775626958","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/scorekeeping-thick-ethical-concepts-von-ph-d-shi","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
